Old Saws in Rhyme.

A stone that is rolling will gather no moss.
What's sauce for the goose, for the gander is
sauce.
Each cloud in the sky has silvery lining.
First capture the hare before on 1t you are
dining.
Don't leave till tomorrow what can be done.
And always make hay while is shining the
sun.
Never count up your chickens before they are
hatched.
When horses are stolen the barn door is
latched.
There are fish in the ocean as good as are
caught.
a child neer departs from right ways that

AS twig is first bent so the tree is inclined.
For sheep that are shorn God doth temper

Save not at the spigot and lose at the bung.
A man born for drowning Will never be hung.
Never borrow nor lend, If you would keep

Fine feathers, they say, will make birds that

Take care of the pence-of themselves pounds

A child will spoil If the rod you should spare.
The truth is but spoken by children and fools.
And children are cut when they handle edged
tools.
There's many slip 'twixt the cup and the

A stone wears away by continuous drip.
A fool and his money will certainly part.
And never fair lady is won by faint heart.
Whoever sows the wind will whirlwind

MR.. AND MRS. BOWSER.

don't want to be complaining Of Mr..
Bowser all the time, but some of his do
ings ought to be held up to the public
gaze. He came in from the barn the
other day in a great hurry and called
out:
"Mrs. Bowser, where's the screw
driver? Hurry. now, for 1 want it
right awayn
"Why, don't know where it is. ]
don't have charge of your tools"
"Look here! left that screwdriyer

yesterday afternoon.
"Well, haven't seeE it,"
"Who has! It's probably been tucked
into the stove or given away to some
Polack. It's wonder the piano don't

presently | found gimlet bored into
the wall where he had intended to put
up bracket, and said:
"There's the gimlet, and you'll be
asking for that next"
"Mrs. Bowser, when | asked you
where the gimlet was why didn't you
tell me?"
"You didn't ask"
"What! What brought me in from
the barn?"
"You came after the screwdriver.

He was mad about it all the afternoon,
and that evening as we got settled down
after supper, he suddenly observed:
"If you'll hunt up those rivets I'll fix
that picture frame"
"Did you have some rivets around
here?'
"Did [? Didn't | bring paper of 'em
home three or four days agoS They've
probably gone into the stove or into the
cart of some peddler."
"Mr. Bowser, I'll take my oath there
hasn't been rivet in this house since
we moved in. What could we use rivets
for?'
"Do you remember the night brought
home that bottle of wine? Didn't | take
a small package out of my pocket and
put it on that table, and didn't after
wards get the tack hammer and put a
strip on the kitchen Window"
"O-yes."

Mr.. Bowser was using his tape line in

A Noble Death.

A Southern paper prints the following
moving story of sublime self-sacrihce
by dog-a fine large Newfoundland.
A camping-party on the coast Of Georgia,
near Savannah had been amusing them.

yenturesome lad named Charlie Butler
had swan much farther, and stayed
longer than the rest. The writer (who
was the owner Of the dog) dressed him

preparing supper, when he heard the
alarm.
A sudden outcry told me something
was going wrong on the shore. Grab
bing n rife and fastening back, with
Carlo Mt my heels, | beheld Butler some
distance away swimming with all his
might and only few yards behind him
the vertical fin of a huge shark. There
seemed no possibility that the boys life

and the fish and man were 80 nearly In
line from us that did not dare 10 fire.

leisurely covered the most Of the dis

when the man-eater started after him,
was comparatively fresh, and when ie
saw q noble dog Fastening 70 bis help,
made final desperate effort to escape.
In another instant Carlo was close 70
him. Just then, however, the shark,
having come near enough, turned so
that we could see his white belly glis-
tening in the twilight, and all was ready
for the spring that would surely have
ended Charles life, when Carlo leap

lad in a few seconds was safe OF the

sadness for the loss Of Black Carlo, my

 "Never saw him before in my life. ''
 "Is he the same as any other horsei"
 "Just the same SO far as can see. "
 "Well, I'll have to go you dollar for luck. " -...
 The man with the white hat passed his hand over the nostrils of the beast, and then stepped back upon the side walk. A moment later the eyes of the horse began to roll, and then his upper lip shriveled up 50 high that seven teeth sprang into view.
 "See him laugh1" yelled the man with the white hat as he danced a Lancashire step on the Tagging. Tears leaped to the eyes of the horse and his respirations came heavy and fast as he lifted his head into the air and uttered hoarse guffaw.
 "Give me the money; I won the bet" exclaimed the man with the white hat, amid series of wheezer and snorts from the laughing beast. The sad-eyed man gave up his dolla and passed on. Just as the animal was about to drop down from exhaus- ton the man with white hat pulled a blue bottle fly from his victims nos trils. ..Est.. v
